Are ethnocentric ideas tolerant and open-minded?

Answer 1

Generally speaking, ethnocentrism is NOT tolerant or open-minded to people and views external to those associated with the dominant ethnic group. Ethnocentrism is the belief that one specific ethnic group or nation is superior to others and that its values and actions are superior. Supremacists are generally not known for tolerance.

However, there are some forms of ethnocentrism that focus more on values and less on appearance, such as patriotism in New World countries. These forms of ethnocentrism define the ethnicity in a non-racial and non-genetic way but in a value-oriented perspective. However, these movements are still very intolerant of people who may have different values, even though they do not draw the lines at race.

Answer 2

Ethnocentrism is how you view people outside of yourself or group. Generally, it is a constant effort for people in public positions, such as teachers, police or other workers, to treat all people the same, regardless of race, culture, abilities or values.

Answer 3

No. Ethnocentrism denotes judging of other cultures from the standpoint of one's own.
